Short Tier Poems

Alone and locked up in her room
With mirrors reflecting her gloom
She paces the floor
And looks at the door
But can not crawl back in the womb...

To tally this line's number one
Count two as we're keeping a sum
And three is right here
Plus four for this tier
For five, all fingers and thumb...

Aroused by denial,
Disturbing thoughts prevail,
Wishing reprisal,
Hostility unveiled.

Sharpened words uncover
The mask in place.
Extreme emotions hover,
Seen in your face.

Venom grows inside,
Feeding the fire,
Where poison resides,
In the skeptic’s lair...

Stone rests upon stone;
They glow in the light
As if to atone
For ill-used power and might.

Column on column,
Tier upon tier;
They weep with the knowledge
Of what happened here.

The cries are now quiet
But they echo still;
They’re heard in the silent
Sighs from these hills....

Like a Rock I am strong, Yet I erode within water 
Clashing from a tier of heights, Within beauty
Adapting story of my rough edges, I am washed away
Insight-fully calming before a storm, I stand firm to weather yet another
Reflecting upon still waters, Forever changing

Strength...........

springtime is coming
the grasses are turning green
flowers inch up soon
~
robins sparrows tweet
bobbing and tapping tier feet
longer Sunshine's flair
~
it's becoming spring
A glorious time birds sing

The catalogue books
I remember them
There were many books
Eaton's Sear's The Bay
Canadian Tier

Oh how I loved them
I would spend hours
Looking through pages
From clothes to shoes
The household section

Oh and the furniture
I enjoyed looking through
Ordering from the phone
Then pick up at the store
Oh I miss those days....

Equal is a state of mind
for justice expectation:
Law’s value place upon our deeds
with fairness calculation.

Social justice doesn’t work,
sounding good at first.
To redistribute mine to theirs,
 puts Freedom in reverse.

There’s no such thing as equal
outside of number games.
Our Constitution’s wise resolve:
Equal justice - One Tier Law....

Here lies incomparable, trailblazer Sir Sidney Poitier
In the pantheon of Hollywood legends, he's at top tier
With 1963 Best Actor Oscar win, he made history;
First Black actor, and black folks reveled in his victory

*Tainted Tongue*

turbulent torrent puking
rustic waves, feigning
passion gulping gaunt
horizon; hoisted bow
receding thuds pounding
punctured mists mumbling

thirty one years
creature in tier;
human, ape, bear

bounty beards blushing
farcical feets' felony
trudged earth moaning

sans tamed language
yet Island's sage.

reviving rusts revamping 
frolic feigning feasts
damped desires drooping 
mystic mists moaning 
puked passion plying 
tactic tier tucking 

sour scrunched smoothened
pleasant parks heightened 
dark dances darkened

fiery flames simpering
mocking mystic mists
towering; twigs twisting 

archaic aura blending 
brooding base bleeding.

Scratch deeper than the surface
Look beyond the façade
Look into my depths

Discover who I am
My insecurities and my fears
My mysteries, secrets, intricacies

Unravel my layers
Each tier something new
Explore all that I am

Search my mind
Search my heart and spirit
Look into my soul

The answers are here
And I will reveal all to you
But scratch deeper than the surface...

I am at the end of another year, 
I will have no fear.
Old New Year's wishes I will cheer,
here is what I have to say my dear.
Many did not appear,
I was put on a new frontier.
I wanted teaching as a career,
that has stayed in the rear.
Many years were just unclear,
now walking with Shakespeare.
As a writer I am a very new pioneer,
perhaps at the end of this year I will be at the top tier....

Limerick crochetés: Once Japanese couple from USA

Once Japanese couple from USA
Skated to stardom near Tokyo Bay
Japanese throbbed waived flag
To recall champions snag
America gives no Trump cards away

Not even smiles nor acknowledgement
Watching one tier below Kim Jong-un
Sister looks down on Pence
Even Quest can’t fix fence
Waiting for fireworks after Pyeongchang

yearning years yawned
plying punctured pawn
voluptuous vein shriek
taking taunted tier
porous passion perforated
hoisted hankering hibernated

callous conspiracy crowed
gaunt crest cloned
feeble flesh flown

bounty blitzkrieg bruised
dark dribbles drooled
perfidious age pruned

sumptuous syllables seeped'n
crumbling cruising creed.

Entrapping the magic,
philosophers moan

Theory after theory,
no meat on the bone

They label and mark,
their didactics retooled 

Force feeding their ramble
to dilettante-fools

And when in the end
they are then proven wrong

They slink back to their hollows,
where the vanquished now throng

But a new tier of ‘masters’
has taken their place

To lecture and spiel
—and pontificate

The Erie Lackawanna.
Was a friendly mamma! 
The friendly service route.
Ran across the Southern Tier of New York.
Then across the Susquehanna.
Choo Choo went the train.
Down along the lower part of the state.
The great flood of 72...
Caused a bankrupt attitude, to date.
Now the tracks, they lay at rest.
Silencing all..by whos rails they quest..

Black and White

Good, bad
Glad, sad
Moods shown
Through sharps
And flats;
Deep bold				
Sounds from					
The top						
Tier can				
Be heard
Both far
And near;
Soft C 
Scale sets
At rest
Till pressed
By soft
Light touch;
Black, White
Dark, Light
No hue
In sight,
But in
The mind
That’s blind;
